Conor McGregor makes his long-awaited return to the Octagon this Saturday, July 11, 2026, when he headlines UFC 329 against former featherweight champion Max Holloway in a highly anticipated rematch at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The event marks McGregor’s first fight since breaking his leg at UFC 264 in July 2021, ending a five-year absence from active competition. Standing across the Octagon will be Holloway, the two-time UFC featherweight champion and former BMF titleholder, in what promises to be one of the most talked-about cards of International Fight Week.
The co-main event also carries real stakes in the lightweight division, as Benoit Saint Denis looks to solidify his position as a top contender against England’s Paddy Pimblett, who is coming off a decision loss to lightweight champion Justin Gaethje.
The Rematch, 13 Years in the Making
McGregor and Holloway first met on August 17, 2013, at UFC Fight Night 26 in Boston — a bout that took place at the very start of both men’s UFC careers. McGregor won that fight by unanimous decision. Thirteen years later, the two return to settle unfinished business, but this time under very different circumstances: the rematch is contested at welterweight (170 pounds) over five rounds, marking Holloway’s official debut in the division.
McGregor, 37, enters as the biggest commercial draw in UFC history, looking to prove he can still compete at the top level after his lengthy layoff. Holloway, 34, is coming off a decision loss to Charles Oliveira in March and will look to add a statement win over one of the sport’s most recognizable stars to his already decorated resume.
